Which kinds of pages AI reads, and which sites come with negative answers
Two cards in What the assistants read: the kinds of pages behind the answers (lists, comparisons, reviews, discussions and more), and the sites quoted alongside negative or positive answers about you.

Which kinds of pages AI read
Every page the assistants read about you is sorted into one kind: lists and rankings, comparisons, alternatives pages, reviews, discussions (Reddit, forums, Q&A), videos, profiles and channels, guides and how-tos, news articles, reference and official sites, shops and booking sites, your own pages, rivals' own pages, or other pages. Each kind is weighed by how many answers its pages fed.
Why it matters: if most of the reading is lists and comparisons, being on those lists counts for more than another post on your own blog. Fed answers you lost marks pages read in answers that named a rival and not you. The to-do list names a list page worth getting onto when one keeps feeding lost answers.
The kinds come from rules you can check, not from a model: the site's domain, the platform, and the words in the title and address.
Which sites come with negative answers
Counted from the sites each answer quoted, in answers that named you, with the tone the answer took toward you. A site quoted in 3 or more of those answers shows here when they were negative or mixed about you at least half the time, or positive at least half the time.
A site quoted beside a negative answer did not necessarily make it negative: open it and read what it says about you. If it is wrong or out of date, ask the site to correct it, or answer the point on your own site, where the assistants will read it. Facts the assistants repeat can be marked right or wrong: see Marking claims as right or wrong.
